Connecting Pharmacists and Other Health Care Providers (HCPs) towards Drug Therapy Optimization: A Pharmaceutical Care Approach.
Article in International journal of clinical practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Pharmaceutical care services offered by pharmacists rationalize drug therapy, improve patient quality of life, and save patients' lives. This study was designed to optimize patient drug therapy through pharmaceutical care services offered by a pharmacist in consultation with other health care providers (HCPs) at a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted to assess the role and effectiveness of pharmacists in optimizing drug therapy outcomes. The study was carried out at an internal and pulmonary medicine unit of a tertiary care hospital in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India, with a total of 50 health care providers (HCPs) (24 doctors, 16 nurses, and 10 pharmacists). A total of 182 patients (males and females) of all age groups were recruited into the study over a period of nine months. Patient-specific pharmaceutical care plans initiated by the pharmacist based on drug therapy-related needs and problems were used to address and optimize drug therapy outcomes in consultation with other HCPs. Results: A total of 388 drug-related problems (DRPs) with an average of 2.29 DRPs per patient were identified, for which 258 pharmaceutical care plans as interventions were proposed, out of which 233 (90.31%) were accepted and implemented. Preassessment and postassessment by HCPs on services rendered by the pharmacist showed a positive change in attitude among HCPs with respect to their endorsement and acceptance of the pharmacist's services in providing direct patient care. Conclusions: Pharmaceutical care services offered by pharmacists helped in optimizing drug therapy and patient care.
